Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1347

Sharon Lindt nodded.

"I'll stay behind and check on Xyla's wounds. You guys can leave first... I'll stay over at Xyla's tonight..." Ron Batton said.

"Alright." Sharon nodded again.

Josh Batton took a step forward and looked at Xyla Quest gently. "Sister-in-law, take good care of yourself. It's getting late. I shall not keep you awake any longer. I'll come and visit you another day..." Nobody knew why he wanted to come to see Xyla, but he didn't want to mention it.

Josh wasn't worthy of bringing it up either.

"Okay..." Xyla nodded.

Josh looked deeply at Xyla. After that, he took the lead by walking out...

Sharon and Wilson Batton quickly followed after him.

As Sharon walked out after Josh, she turned to look at Xyla. "Xyla... Please take care of yourself..."

Xyla nodded. After that, she left with them...

Ron didn't follow the others. Instead, he let out a long sigh and silently sat on the couch.

After sending the others off, Xyla quickly returned to Ron's side and sat down.

"This incident is way too similar to what happened during Dragon Group's seventieth anniversary... I highly suspect that the 'master' is behind this... What do you think? You don't have to hide the truth to avoid making me worry... I can handle it," Ron said.

Xyla nodded gently. "Hmm, I suspect the same..."

"If it really is the same person, then he's way too detestable!" Ron said.

"Yes..." Xyla said.

"Bring more bodyguards with you when you go out next time... You must take safety precautions," Ron said worriedly.

"Alright," Xyla said.

After that, Stanley Batton slowly walked down the stairs.

By then, Stanley had already taken a shower and dried his hair that was split in a three-to-seven ratio. He was wearing dark green silk loungewear.

He seemed clean and refreshed.

Outside the gate, Josh drove his white Lamborghini with a single hand. He was looking straight ahead as he spoke to someone on the phone through his Bluetooth earphones.

"Say, Josh... What is this? We've worked together for so long. You've never stood me up before. What happened today?

"Why did you leave without saying anything? Why didn't you even give me a call? We've prepared everything. Even if you had to go... Shouldn't you have at least informed me? "Do you know how big a loss you've cost us?" The man sounded extremely unhappy.

"Sorry for the loss I've cost you. I'll bear all of it..." Josh had an apologetic look on his face. "How much did you lose? I'll pay you back..." Josh said.

"Is this even about the money?" That person instantly became even angrier.

"I know this isn't about the money, but something urgent came up, and I had to leave... Sorry..." Josh said.

Beep, beep, beep...

The man didn't say anything else, and he hung up.

Josh didn't speak. Instead, he helplessly turned off his Bluetooth earphones. He then continued to look ahead and focused on driving.
